Colleen Cameron
About 2 years into Signs by Design, I had a scare and the wisest words of wisdom that has impacted the ways I moved forward forever. I had a couple of rough months and found myself on the verge of not being able to make payroll. I had gotten comfortable. I had immediate success and stopped pushing. Stopped working hard.

The biggest lie the pet industry tells itself is that “all pet foods are created equal.” That’s just not true. Too many companies still put profits ahead of pets, cutting corners on ingredients and hiding behind marketing buzzwords. Meanwhile, pet parents are left thinking they’re buying something healthy when they’re not. It’s misleading — and it’s time we stop pretending otherwise. Another big lie? Read more>>
Abby Pfaff
I am most proud of the strong foundation I’ve built for my business. I started photographing my own clients back in 2014 as a high school student, and ever since, I’ve been steadily building my career: learning, growing, earning my degree, juggling multiple jobs, working toward my teaching certification, and figuring out what I truly want in life.

Success encourages you to continue, but suffering teaches you. A few Becoming Conscious lines are “FAILURE IS AN INGREDIENT OF PROGRESS,” Another is “NO REGRETS, ONLY LESSONS,” and “EITHER WAY IT HAPPENED,” The sooner you can integrate new information and move forward, the sooner you can reduce suffering. Challenges are the rocks that shape your river…. Read more>>

For the first time ever, I am an executive producer on a music album. The second album for Smoking With Strangers called Don’t Disappear by Jay Sustain. It’s been so fun being a part of an artistic project that was different than Dance. Read more>>

Both of my children are grown adults and one is married and expecting her first baby, and my son relocated to another state for a job that he loves. My visits with my son are something I always look forward to and love. Read more>>
Chisa D. Savage Realtor®️
The part of me that needed control and order: I lived strategically, planning every outcome and leaving no room for growth or grace. Although the ability to plan is a valued tool, it limited me in some ways. This aligned with my having a fear of chaos. Instead, I decided to face confrontation head-on. Read more>>
Kevin Smith Jr
Energy – It’s contagious in the workplace! We can learn and teach together as colleagues. We can demonstrate our mission, vision, and values to instill integrity. Sales and service are literally a transfer of enthusiasm, so on the days when motivation wanes, discipline and self-prompted energy will create the right atmosphere for our team and our client base.

Kelly Blackall
Home. I once read a quote that said, “Build a home you don’t need a vacation from,” and that one stuck with me—hard. Home base for both of us is our sanctuary, our peace. Sitting on the back porch with each other and the dogs is our perfect place. Read more>>
Johnathon Jones
My mom saw me clearly long before I did. She noticed the mix of my creative streak and stubborn drive and told me they’d take me far. When I’d fixate on a new idea, she never tried to steer me away. She’d just smile and say I’d figure it out in my own way. Read more>>
Andrea Greenidge
As a child, my small stature was often seen as a limitation, but I refused to let that define what I could accomplish. I faced obstacles that felt like walls in front of me, but I learned to break through them. I realized that when God calls you to do something, the only validation you need is from Him and yourself.

Jason Allen Wear
Procrastination has been my worst enemy. I tend to wait, trying to make everything perfect, but nothing ever will be. Life is too short. We should all live like there is no tomorrow. Take those trips you’ve been dreaming about, finish the screenplays you’ve been putting off, let go of grudges, and focus on creating and experiencing life. Read more>>
Daniella Bortone
I think my clients would miss our conversations the most. Over the years, I’ve built relationships with so many of them that feel more like family than just clients. We laugh, catch up on life, and share stories during their appointments — it’s such a special bond. I think that personal connection is what makes each visit feel comfortable and meaningful. Read more>>
Lindsay Walden
I think what often breaks the bonds between people is busyness and distraction. We move so quickly through life that we sometimes forget to pause and truly see one another. We get caught up in schedules, screens, and expectations—and those small moments of connection start to fade. Photography, for me, is the antidote to that. Read more>>
Serena Nour
I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Dipped With Love TX is that because it’s home-based, people might assume it’s less professional or not as clean as a storefront business. In reality, being home-based actually allows me to be more intentional! I can focus on quality over overhead. Read more>>
Montana Pickens
I think people will always misunderstand what it means to be a mermaid. ‘Mermaid’ in many peoples eyes equates to what they think ‘Barbie’ is- but if you know anything about who Barbie really is and what she represents, she’s more than just a doll. She’s more than a girl in a hot pink dress. Read more>>
Brandon James Rose
A typical day for me as an entrepreneur is always quite different, but that’s why I love it. The only thing I try to keep consistent is the first 90 minutes after I wake up. I have found the first actions I take sets up my whole day, and the morning actually starts about 10p the night before. Read more>>
Scott Bale
I just moved my private gym to a new location on September 1, 2025, after being in the same building for the last 30 years., so, my day is spent getting the new place set up just the way that I want it. I usually wake up between 3:30 am and 6 am, depending on when my first client is that day. Read more>>
Traci Connell
I used to believe that the more you work, the more you excel — that success came from sheer effort and constant motion. Over time, I learned that my most valuable currency isn’t productivity, it’s time. When I began to build an incredible, talented team and delegate with trust, I finally experienced what I now call Ease of Leisure as a Luxury. Read more>>
Dennis Walthers
For me, changing my mind—or adjusting the path I’m on—isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a necessary part of success. Taking corrective action mid-stream is critical if you want the right outcome. Too often I’ve seen leaders lock into a decision and refuse to adjust, even when they’re getting clear feedback that it’s not working. That usually ends in failure. Read more>>
Michele Williams
Absolutely, I would hire me. With more than seven decades of life experience and a deep understanding of what it means to evolve gracefully and confidently, I bring expertise and empathy to every client I serve. As a wardrobe stylist, I don’t just dress women—I help them rediscover the beauty, confidence, and vitality already within them. Read more>>
